Hey Terry,
Location I believe has a LOT to do with it! I live in Paducah Kentucky and we have a Nuclear plant here and we have been told we have the highest incidence of cancer (period) in the nation. I know in my family alone I have an aunt who died of ballbladder cancer, a grandmother who died of uterine cancer, an x father in law who had colon cancer, my dad had prostrate cancer and his second wife just died two years ago of melenoma, and my mom has colon cancer, I have an aunt who here who has lymphoma, and I have CML. I also have two uncles (not here) that have lung cancer and one of them died with it about two years ago. My kids feel like they are doomed.
Hugs,
Katy

Hi Pat,I have read once that in either Long Island, or Rhode Island, can't remember exactly which..hehe. That breast cancer in women in that area is unusally high. Alex Baldwin's mother had it and he was doing a charity thing for it. So there could be something to location being a factor. I guess it depends on how much toxic stuff is in the area perhap? With them not knowing what causes CML for sure it is hard to say, Take care,Terry

He is a very stressed filled person with a nasty, short temper and I am the perfectionist with a very slow burning temper. I hold it all in and he lets it all out at once, When I told my onc he was shocked. I have lived in AZ since '93 and he has lived in PA almost all of his life except for a 4 year stint in NJ which is where I grew up. Wonder if there is any correlation.Pat
